Daniel HellerFounder and CEO, The Welcoming Committee

My Legal Hero lawyer helped me get my production company, Saturday Candy Films, up and running. Because I knew up front what each project would cost, I saved money on legal fees, which I put towards filming the company’s first project, 'Rare Birds of Fashion!'

My Legal Hero lawyer made me feel that not only was he completing a task, but that he was really looking out for my company's well being.
